Really stuck for a boys name. I want something unusual (but not a made up name if that makes any sense). Any suggestions? X

Lawrence

Think - Lawrence, Hugh ( rather than huw), and Leo are very commonly used names here

I loved Beau, but it could be an error if he goes through an 'unfortunate'-looking period in his teens.

If DD2 had been a boy, she probably would have been Torin.

My DH and I both like Dalton for a boy. Not heard anybody we know using it but it's not so obscure either.

I like
Rex
Cyrus
Cody
I'm also looking for an unusual boys name. I think names beginning with Z are unusual, so
Zion
Zidane
Zeus
Zumer

See why I need help too :)

My baby making days are over. But if ever we had a boy, he'd be called Rafferty. I also really like Atticus, Barnaby and Arlo.

Our top boy name is Reuben Smile I love it & think it's unusual but not weird. We've been saying his name quite a lot over the last few weeks so think it's a keeper.
